Cata asked whether the brain surgery Chapman had to remove a tumor years after the discussion with Phillips had left her memory clouded.

Chapman said she has not experienced any memory loss.

Cata also asked how much media coverage of the case Chapman had read, to which Chapman said she read newspaper stories about the case over the years.

During the pretrial stage, Cata and defense attorney Paul Eckerstrom sought Chapman's medical records. They argued Chapman may have confabulated events she witnessed with those she read or viewed in media because of her surgery.
